* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' was notable for this. "The Deadliest Joke In The World" is probably their most famous example. There is also "Is There?," a chat show where four dead people discuss (or obviously not) the topic of there being life after death.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' YouTubePoop "[[https://youtu.be/HtDwVFNEs0s?si=wXZ0WRj60nmWQWL9 Fit for Something]]", Elvis manages to die twice in quick succession; first by getting flung off a treadmill at high speeds, accompanied with a screenshot of the credits changed to read "Elvis is [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] dead", then by getting crushed by a barbell. Both times, it's played as a joke, and in the next scene [[DeathIsCheap he boards Jupiter completely fine]].

* ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' uses this with [[spoiler:Vizzini's]] death. Failing to accurately determine which of two glasses contain poison, he begins to laugh and boast about his brilliance in "figuring out" where the poison was, only to immediately stop laughing and keel over.

* Given the hit system and the DeathIsCheap nature of the series, it's only natural that death is frequently used for comedic antics on ''WebVideo/SMPLive''. One such example is Cooper's repeated killing of Joko in "Fishing turns deadly", with Connor even saying to kill Joko because it's funnier when Cooper gets a hit on him.

None of these are specific. Also, they come off as a bit insensitive.

* [[Website/DarwinAwards The Darwin Awards]] are dedicated to people [[TooDumbToLive "removing themselves from the gene pool"]] in amusingly bizarre ways.
* A major factor in Jewish humor, medical humor, military humor... in fact, just humor.
* There are many videos on the internet, compilations, playlists and even channels, dedicated to laugh at criminals that died while attempting a crime, either killed by the police, or the victim, or by their own mistakes.

Oof, formatting.


* ''Anime/BangDreamGirlsBandPartyPico is a spinoff animation series of ''Anime/BangDream'' and features silly "deaths" as a joke in several of it's episodes, for example: [[spoiler:Rimi turns into a Chocolate Cornet, the entire Hello, Happy World! band freezing to death while hiking a snowy mountain, Aya and Maya of Pastel*Palettes collapsing out of exhaustion in a dessert, and many more]]. Luckily, the girls always get up for the next episode(s) after "dying".
